Globe loses a sports columnist

I have two school age children who are growing up before my eyes and I don’t want to miss anything. I’ve always said when I had to start fitting my life into my job instead of the other way around, it was time to go. I’m at that point. The Globe has been great to me, and I know I’m leaving them at a difficult time, but they understand my reasons. I’m looking forward to stepping back and just doing some occasional freelance work for a while. It’s a great feeling to look at my daughter’s track schedule and know I can make ALL of the meets, instead of only some of them.
